I am quite pleased with the return of the Gangsta Gary storyline (especially if Sarah becomes his moll (!)) - it makes a change from the terminally ill child storyline and the quad squad yawnfest. A masked up Sarah visits the ginger ninja in hospital and tells Gary she needs to go to the po-po. Gary reminds her that they blamed Calum
Sarah-Lou lies to Adam, saying she went to the hospital because Gary saved her life. She also lies to the police, saying that she didn't dial 999 before the accident happened, even though the emergency operator says she heard the accident happen whilst Sarah was on the phone requesting the police. Sarah makes something up about her car being stolen. To say Adam looks circumspect is like saying there is a little illness going round at the moment.
Adam arrives in Casa Rosa as Gary is fleeing his flat with an overnight bag, having left 3 letters for Izzy, Nicola and Maria. He gets nowt out of Gary, but Gary gets out of him that Sarah has told the police diddly-squat and so he removes the letters and puts them in his coat (no doubt to be found by Maria later on).
D.S. Bernie finds out that Adam hasn't received the watch that Sarah bought from her. And Adam adds this mystery watch to his dossier of evidence.
On a side note, has Gary been getting one of the nurses to pomade his hair?
Elaine/Philippa/Paula Wilcox approaches Sally in the cafe (socially distanced, of course) and explains she can't give evidence at Yasmeen's trial because the barristers will dig into her past and criticise her abandoning her son.
Geoff motors up and threatens Elaine who goes down into the ginnel of doom. "Stay away from me, stay away from the court and stay away from my son!" he shouts at her, observed by Fay(e). She backs away from him, terrified. Later, we see Geoff remove the SIM card from Elaine's phone and drop it down a drain. What's the ghastly ghoul up to now!?
The pub is doing a roaring trade with takeaway hotpots (and DeliverJen* Vodka-tons to Rita). Abi comes in for her carry out-lunch and mentions the twins going to Australia (hopefully not Melbourne!) and Gemma says she doesn't know how Abi can let it happen. "I'd die without my babies," says Gemma, who is in the pub without her babies, leading to Abi rushing out in tears.
Later, Abi says she's been selfish all her life and she's doing the best for the twins now by not contesting the move. Gemma gives her a socially distanced cuddle. Aw, it'd be lovely if these two became pals.
